I had you at bacon. This is a pretty simple idea that began with Thomas Keller. It's been lifted by the editors at Cooks Illustrated as well as a feature in the Huff Post. It's perfect for the Aga if crisp bacon is the goal.

Let's see how this goes down in the Agakitchen

Lay bacon out on cookie pan

Add 1/2 cup of water sprinkly evenly over the bacon

Bake on floor of Roasting Oven 8 minutes

Rotate pan and cook an addtional 4 to 8 minutes. Use good judgement

End result is a perfectly crisp, evenly cooked but not too brittle bacon
